Complaint: My credit was affected by the poor business practices of LoanCare, the mortgage loan servicer for XXXX Mortgage. Below is a brief summary of the most recent incident. LoanCare systemically engages in obstructive, if not downright fraudulent, business practices, resulting in late payment fees and negative impacts on credit scores. I have paid our mortgage without fail every month since we bought our home XX/XX/XXXX Monthly, we pay our mortgage by scheduling online payments through our XXXX Bank checking account. At some point, LoanCare changed our mortgage account number ( without notifying me XXXX, resulting in the XX/XX/XXXX payment being returned electronically to our XXXX Bank account XX/XX/XXXX. LoanCare did n't notify me that this payment was returned, so I thought our mortgage payments were being applied appropriately. Instead, the account appeared to be missing the payment XX/XX/XXXX. Further, the amount of the monthly mortgage payment increased over the summer from {$2600.00} to {$2700.00} ( also without me being notified ), so not only were subsequent mortgage payments being applied to each previous month 's mortgage, I also then needed to pay the difference in the new monthly amount as well as late fees to rectify this. Because the monthly loan amount increased, and LoanCare wo n't apply payments unless they cover the entire monthly amount due, LoanCare then held {$2500.00} without applying it to my account, thus charging me further late fees. LoanCare did not have the correct mailing address or contact phone number listed on my account, and had my wife 's phone number listed as the contact, even though she is not on the mortgage. After spending much time talking to various call center employees and supervisors to figure out why LoanCare was n't accepting my mortgage payments, I paid ( again ) the mortgage payment that was returned XX/XX/XXXX, as well as the difference remaining after the monthly mortgage amount was increased, plus late fees of {$430.00}. I asked LoanCare, ( in writing : XXXXXXXXXXXX ), for these late fees to be refunded and a letter sent to the credit report agencies stating that my account is paid as agreed with no late payments. I also updated ( again ) our mailing address and contact info, and asked that I be immediately notified if there are any subsequent changes to the account. After waiting several months for a reply, LoanCare stated that they would not refund late fees and would not send a letter to the credit reporting agencies showing that my account has always been continuously paid in full, on time.

Complaint: On or around XXXX XXXX I was finalizing a XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy. I received correspondence from XXXX County Municipal Courts stating my loan was current and a request was made to dismiss my Bankruptcy and stop my foreclosure proceedings. This request was made by Attorneys representing XXXX XXXX. I had successfully completed 60 months of my payment plan made by my Attorney and the Trustee to saved my home from foreclosure. On or around XX/XX/XXXX I started to receive collection calls from one Loancare company stating that I was in default and that I now owed {$3400.00} on my mortgage. The gentleman whom I spoke with never produced any proof that there was in fact a delinquency, I asked if this was a collections call from the loan servicing company he said yes. I asked if he was familiar with FDCPA? I made a request for a full Itemized list of all payments made and payments received to confirm that if I was in fact delinquent that the proper protocol were if fact being followed. A few days later I received a dunning letter without a itemized list of payment. There was not proof of anything that would show that Loancare was a company that was entitled to receive payment on behalf of XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). The calls were a violation of Section 807 ( 11 ) of the FDCPA Inital Communication and Subsequent Communications. XXXX XXXX al v. XXXX et al, No. XXXX - XXXX XXXX ( S.D. Ohio 2010 )

Complaint: Loan Care was servicing my mortgage for The XXXX XXXX who I have my mortgage with. Apparently, they severed their relationship and a notification was sent out that the address had changed to where I was to send my mortgage payment. I did not receive the correspondence and have continued to pay my mortgage electronically through my bank. This month XXXX XXXX 2015 ) I received a collection call from The XXXX XXXX for XXXX 's payment. I paid my mortgage payment on XXXX XXXX, 2015, and because of these XXXX companies terminating their relationship my check was cashed by Loan Care and they will not release my funds until I provide them proof of payment from my bank. How can an organization XXXX Loan Care XXXX cash a check that they knowingly shouldnt? Shouldnt they reject the payment? Now, I must take my time to fix these XXXX companies issues.

Complaint: My loan was sold several times after the purchase of my home and was with Loan Care ( myloancare.com, XXXX ) before supposedly being transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). I make all my payments via the XXXX XXXX website and when I needed to contact the company in regards to the servicing of my loan I was unable to enter my phone number or loan number into the automated system without being told it was n't valid. Once speaking to a rep with the company I was told that my loan is not with them or in their system because it 's with Loan Care ( a sub-servicer of XXXX ). They gave me the phone number for Loan Care and said to contact them. I contacted Loan Care and can not even get through to a representative because neither my social or my loan number is being recognized with the automated system. The system says to call back when I have a valid loan number or social and hangs up. Why would Loan Care tell me my loan was with XXXX XXXX and how am I making my payments on XXXX website if neither company is able to recognize my information for me to discuss my loan with anyone?

Complaint: I have been trying to pay off my mortgage since XXXX/XXXX/15. I first attempted to have my bank make a payment only to be told by XXXX/XXXX/15 that my mortgage company, LoanCare did not receive the payment and that my bank had sent it to the wrong address. I later learned that this was incorrect information and that in fact the address was correct. I then stopped payment on the check since no one at LoanCare could tell me if they had received the check and the customer service rep had advised me the payment in the amount of {$90000.00} was mailed to the wrong address. LoanCare cashed the check the next day ( XXXX/XXXX/15 ) and charged me a {$30.00} NSF fee. I then spoke to a supervisor who told me that it would be best to wire the funds -- I did this on XXXX/XXXX/15. My bank confirmed the funds ( {$91000.00} ) were wired on XXXX/XXXX/15, and I called LoanCare almost every day following only to have the customer service reps tell me that they still had not received the funds. Of course, there was no one they could transfer me to to let me know if they had received the funds. I called back again today XXXX/XXXX/15 only to be told that they had received the funds XXXX/XXXX/15 but had sent back the funds today because it was {$490.00} short to pay off the loan. According to their own payoff wiring instructions attached " payoff funds must be sufficient to cover all escrow advances, interest, prepayment penalties, principal, and changes. Payoffs that do not meet these requirements will be retired if additional funds are not received within two business days after payoff department has made contact. '' No one from the payoff department or my mortgage company has ever bothered to contact me regarding the extra {$490.00} needed to pay off my mortgage. I still do not have my {$91000.00} that they kept from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/15 only their word that it was " returned. ''

Complaint: I contacted LoanCare Inc. regarding a late added to my credit report. The loan was paid off and according to one the agents, " there XXXX departments often have a delay in updating pay offs ''. I was told that it would be corrected since I was considering using them for my new loan. I decided to go with a different lender and I called for a status and was told that I now needed to file a formal request to have it corrected. I requested the XXXX # and name of the person I was speaking with and told simply his employee # and last name which I am certain was fake as generic as it was. With all of the mortgage regulations I would expect that this does n't happen anymore. The company again is LoanCare llc and the person that refuse to provide information was XXXX # XXXX.

Complaint: We refinanced with XXXX XXXX Loans who immediately sold our loan to LoanCare. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX Loans with information on where to send my first payment which was due XXXX XXXX, 2015. I had my bank electronically send the payment, but XXXX XXXX Loans provided an incorrect loan # which I was not aware of until I received a call from Loan Care that they had not received my payment. I called Loan Care and they told me to have my bank send proof of the electronic payment so they could find the funds and transfer them to my account. I did that, and thought it was taken care of on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I received another call from Loan Care about 2 weeks later saying they had not received payment. The customer service person took all my information again and said she would take care of it. I received another call from Loan Care on XXXX XXXX saying they still had not received my payment for XXXX XXXX and I was delinquent. I called my bank and we got on a XXXX way call with Loan Care. My bank sent Loan Care the information again and I was told it was taken care of and I would not be receiving any more calls from Loan Care, it was now in their hands because they knew they had the money, they just had to find it. I was also told I would not receive a late fee because they had the money. I just got another call today saying they have not received payment and I have a late fee of about {$45.00} due. I 'm now on the phone again with them and on hold. As I sit here and wait, I started reading reviews on XXXX. Every single review is the same as mine. This is ridiculous!! I have spent hours on the phone with them, and they have my money!!! This company needs to be looked into. It seems to be common practice for them. How can they receive money and not investigate where it goes when it has an incorrect loan # on it. There is only XXXX address associated with the account. I just got off the phone and they once again said they have escalated the issue to a supervisor and they will get back to me in 3 days. I 've been told this before and nothing has happened. I 'm hoping that by sending this complaint my issue will soon be resolved.

Complaint: I have been paying for my loan with Loan Care for the past XXXX years. Have been paying automatic withdrawal from my wife 's bank account to them every other week ( XXXX payment each time ). Everything was good until I got a notice that I was delinquent for XXXX payment. Come to find out that they placed XXXX of my XXXX payments into principal, which I had no intention to do so ; should have been applied to my monthly bill. I contacted Loan Care and they were able to do a principal reversal ( only after several follow up calls ), however I was still reported delinquent 30 days to the credit bureau. I have made a formal credit dispute to LoanCare because I feel that it was an error on their part that made me delinquent. In addition, if I knew I was late on a payment ( have not received any monthly statement from them, although they swear that they mail it out to me ), I would of paid them in full ( which I am doing right now ) ; I still have n't received any statements from them. My XXXX credit dispute is still pending a decision, however it is very frustrating to know that an error of placing my payment to principal and not having any paper trail/monthly statement to inform me of delinquency has effected my and my wife 's credit score ( around XXXX initial, now XXXX ; good credit report : paid all my creditors on time and provided this history to Loan Care ). I would like Loan Care to be held responsible/accountable for the above error that made me/my wife delinquent and to provide me with paper statements ; correct the delinquency with the XXXX credit bureaus. My wife and I make payments religiously and have worked hard to build up our credit ; it is not right that a servicing company could allocate funds in-correctly and not inform myself ( consumer ) prior to reporting to the credit bureau.

Complaint: I had auto-pay set up through my mortgage servicer - Loancare. Suddenly, in XXXX the payments were interrupted. Despite the fact that I had received my monthly " Thank you, your mortgage payment has been received! '' email from Loancare my payment had not, in fact been deducted from my checking account. I contacted them several times and each time they swore everything was fine. Finally I made a manual payment from my checking account and held my breath, hoping that Loancare would n't suddenly ding my account and pay double that month XXXX they did n't, my manual payment was the only payment made. XXXX Despite my phone calls and attempt to ensure this payment was made on time, Loancare levied a late fee for XXXX. I have been unsuccessful in having them waive this, as the late payment was because of a problem on their end XXXX their auto-draft not functioning ) and nothing I did. Care to guess what happened in XXXX? Again an email thanking me for my mortgage payment. Again no money deducted from my checking account. Again a flurry of phone calls and emails that ( mostly XXXX went un-answered trying to find out if Loancare 's auto-pay was going to deduct my payment or if I should make a manual payment again. Again I was assessed a late fee, and was told that my mortgage payment was not received due to insufficient funds ( not true and my bank is prepared to provide written evidence as to such ) and then when I called I was told my payment was n't made because of changes I had made on the Loancare website ( again, not true I had not made a change since originally setting up the original auto-draft and had been successfully making payments for MONTHS before this happened. ) I ca n't get anywhere with Loancare, their staff are rude, unprofessional and unhelpful. When my husband and I attempted to re-finance the loan with them in order to remove PMI they declined, stating that my bankruptcy inhibited their ability to improve the terms of my loan ( I have never declared bankruptcy and they refused to disclose where they had obtained that information. ) I really do n't understand how these folks get away with this stuff. I 'd rather have my loan serviced by XXXX.
